Later in 2017, listeners will get their chance to have their say on the prospective date going forward.

In a September 2016 statement, triple j said it wanted the Hottest 100 to be a celebration of the year’s best music on a day everyone could enjoy.

“We want the Hottest 100 to be an inclusive and respectful event for all Australians, including all the incredible Indigenous artists making great Australian music, and the listeners from all cultural backgrounds who love it.”

What kind of artists are the most successful?

First up, if you’re a female solo artist, you’re going to have to break some serious ground to take out number one.
